 | | Mainly, plant community succession, landscape and ecosystem ecology; including nutrient and water dynamics in grassland and savanna systems, conservation ecology, nonequilibrium dynamics, international development and conservation, human influences on and interactions with ecological processes. |
 | | My interest is in the study of environmental science and conservation ecology, but this extends to include sociology, international relations and geography. |
 | | Approaching it has required a broad expansion of traditional concepts about nature, ecology and human disturbance, but the ideas of "Reconciliation Ecology" (as coined by Michael Rosenzweig) and, more loosely, Political Ecology (see Karl Zimmerer) provide a foundational framework for what I see as a valuable and fruitful endeavor that I hope to pursue. |
